Sif Tosscobble
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Sif was born to a traveling troupe of Lightfoot Halflings. Her family trained her to sing and play several instruments including the lyre.
When she was 42 (still quite young by halfling standards) her musical talents caught the attention of a Noblewoman in the court the troupe was performing for at that time. Sif spent the next two decades playing in this Noblewoman's personal court as a court musician. While there, various things happened that offended Sif's strong sense of personal justice.
Once, a young nobleman became quite smitten with Sif, and she was gifted with a (insert wondrous lyre name here) which was a legendary lyre prized for it's beautiful sound and added to the abilities of the player to lull and or play up the emotions of the audience. The bard in their group was jealous, and obsessed with getting his hands on this instrument. One night he managed to steal it away, and left court so as to keep his prize, he traveled to far away lands and out of Sif's reach. Sif became obsessed with getting back her beloved instrument and will stop at nothing to get it back.
Always friendly, despite the bullying from some noblemen and the nemesis bard, she had friends in many places. A close friend of hers, Thomas Alva, caught on to her plans to steal back her lyre. He started to teach her some slight of hand tricks, which Sif proved to have a surprising propensity for such things. Eventually her talents got her into trouble and her long-time patroness became aware of her crimal activity. Rather than punish Sif, she decided to put them to use. Sif became a spy for her, traveled to many courts as a legendary performer, all while spying and stealing whatever her Patroness required.
